Typically, Visualization is done after the data is gathered or simulation, but a research study by Donald Appleyard back in 1969 flipped this around by turning the visualization into the data gathering step.
Another chart plotted peoples’ perception of their “home territory” on the 3 different streets. On the heavily traffic street, residents drew red rectangles which shows their apartment, or in some case, their whole building, as being their home territory. In contrast, on the lightly traffic street, most of the people are defining their entire street as their home territory, with some people highlighting their building or a slightly larger area.
Now, he did go with more traditional methods, plotting connections between neighbors to show how interconnected an area of light traffic is compared to high-traffic. It’s an interesting study with impressive results.

Hello, Doing my research yesterday I found this new book about Data Acquisition. Book is intended to be a collection of contributions providing a bird’s eye view of some relevant multidisciplinary applications of data acquisition. While assuming that the reader is familiar with the basics of sampling theory and analog-to-digital conversion, the attention is focused on applied research and industrial applications of data acquisition. I read it on online reading platform, but you can download it for free at this same link: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/data-acquisition Enyoy!
